In the latest episode of The TomorrowToday Podcast, Buhle Dlamini and I take a deeper look into organisational design and what it takes to build successful and future-ready businesses with competitive edge in the modern, connection-driven economy.

Are our businesses ready for the future, or are we stuck in past practices that no longer serve us? This episode covers essential questions about transformation, organisational structures, leadership and executive team agendas. In this excerpt you can hear a snipper of my interview with psychologist, Tamryn Batcheller-Adams about her book "Mavericks: How Bold Leadership Changes the World".

We are still taking a break from our regular future scenarios, while my colleague Buhle Dlamini and I share an our new podcast, The TomorrowToday Podcast with you. We are looking at the characteristics of future-ready organisations, and in Episode 2 we hear from Dean van Leeuwen about the Three Dimensional Strategy Framework.

A 3D strategy has three distinct elements: (1) a strategic foundation that aligns purpose, values and a true north, (2) strategic essentials required to compete well, and (3) strategic differentiators that elevate your performance. Most companies focus just the second dimension, asking what we have to do to compete well and be effective and efficient. But to be future-ready, the foundations need to be aligned with elements that will really set you apart from others in your industry, not just now but in the foreseeable future and beyond.

This is a brief excerpt from the full episode. You can sign up to listen to The TomorrowToday Podcast wherever you get your podcasts, and listen to the full Episode 2 with Dean and Buhle and myself.

This is the final episode of Season 4 of ThrowForward Thursday. It's a longer episode today, as we review the most significant theme of the last 40 episodes.

This is your reminder that the future isn't just written in data — it's shaped by those who know how to use it. Lead with data, and let it lead you to unprecedented success.

Come with me to the future, where we realise that Artificial General Intelligence is not just an improvement on Generative AI but something different, developed on a different path.

GenAI / LLMs are brilliant. They're amazing tools, taking the sum of human knowledge (including all the incorrect stuff lots of people believe) and making it very accessible. Keep using and improving GenAI, but don't get sucked in by the hype of AGI just yet.

AGI is coming. But it is coming down a different path than we are on right now.

Imagine a world where the boring parts of learning - the dumping data into our brains - is all done easily using neural transfers, augmentation and technology assistants. What's left is for the human brain to do what it does best: creative thinking, problem solving, idea generation, and more.

This week's leap into the future takes a view that Generative AI is not actually that intelligent - it just has access to all the data. When human beings have access to the same data, we will come up with much better new ideas, insights and wisdom than GenAI seems capable of now. The future is bionic: humans and machines working together, each doing what they do best to move our world forward.

Imagine the Indian elections in 2052 taking just 5 minutes to process, rather than the 6 weeks it takes this year. The vision is of digital first, ubiquitous, secure, personal technology connections in every sector and industry, reducing friction, demolishing time scales, flattening barriers.
